- 18. #SMX #33B2 @PronouncedAhndy Customer Match Strategies
- 19. #SMX #33B2 @PronouncedAhndy Customer Match for GSP
- 20. #SMX #33B2 @PronouncedAhndy Target Email List Unsubscribers Very likely to click through to the website after clicking on a GSP ad Conversion rate is pretty ‘meh,’ but not awful compared to other audiences
- 21. #SMX #33B2 @PronouncedAhndy § Customer Match is great for testing – Easy to create randomized test and control groups – Emails can be used with backend order information to determine how likely users are to convert with/without the presence of paid ads Brands Should Test the Real Value of Their Ads Email List Test CM Turn Ads Off Control CM Keep Ads Running Estimate the Impact of Paid Ads on Order Volume from the Customers
- 22. #SMX #33B2 @PronouncedAhndy Depending on your goals and the competitive landscape of the search results on your brand keywords, it may make sense to test turning ads off for Customer Match audiences Brands Should Test the Real Value of Their Ads

- 24. #SMX #33B2 @PronouncedAhndy Expand Keyword Lists § Advertisers may want to try to expand keywords lists to include more general terms targeting only Customer Match lists – However, the more general the keywords and further away from the core function of your business you get, the more expensive it can become
- 25. #SMX #33B2 @PronouncedAhndy Adjust Ad Messaging § Advertisers can target ad copy to Customer Match audiences in order to: – Upsell – Latest model! – Cross-sell – Get an extra battery for that phone! – Call out product attributes relevant to specific audiences • Be careful not to assume too much Advertisers can’t know if differences in messaging will impact performance until they test
- 26. #SMX #33B2 @PronouncedAhndy Ad Messaging Restrictions Ads cannot mention specific types of personal information, such as knowledge of race, political affiliation, or negative financial status
- 27. #SMX #33B2 @PronouncedAhndy § Customer Match is currently limited in reach § There are some updates on the horizon that stand to increase that reach § Customer Match audiences can currently be used in initiatives/strategies such as testing incremental value, expanding keyword lists, reconnecting with email list unsubscribers, and ad copy testing § This is only the beginning – Ad personalization is likely to continue to become more of a possibility, so advertisers should take advantage of Customer Match to begin testing optimization strategies Takeaways
